		+	::Theory: upper-limb triplication is an unforeseen adverse reaction specifically when combining LSD and a particular type of placebo. But never discovered because there's never been any reason to combine them, before, let alone test for this exact 'drug' reaction.
		+	::In this case, everything would have been 'ok' (more or less) if the LSD hadn't been ''mixed'' into the previously chosen placebo, or if the prior (proper) doses of theoretically inert 'sugar pill' substance had been flushed out of the recipient's system before the psychoactive dose got administered.
		+	::...I know... But this is the xkcdverse, and there's been weirder things than a stealthily-intereactive 'placebo'. ;) [[Special:Contributions/172.70.160.249\|172.70.160.249]] 14:03, 31 May 2024 (UTC)

-* People who do insane things like jump off a building or flee from hallucinations while on LSD are usually those who had it slipped to them without their knowledge.

If you think you're sober, those impressions are entirely believable. They are not even really a hallucination, but in fact are the triggering of memories by sensory stimulus or thoughts. LSD blocks part of your brain's normal chemical filtering of memories and thoughts, which would keep you from being distracted by only slightly-relevant thoughts. — [[User:Kazvorpal|Kazvorpal]] ([[User talk:Kazvorpal|talk]]) 21:33, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
